Was going to purchase the red hoses for my XK8 to give the engine bay some umph but had a crazy idea to paint the plastic covers red instead!! Used the new fusion plastic paint and cleaned them like crazy first and they match the calipers perfectly!! Then after 3/4 bottle of champers, I took brush in hand and painted the letters black!! I think they look amazing!! I've got a couple 03 xj6 grille growlers on the way to give a bit of bling.
Now to remove the two side engine covers and paint red, maybe the shock mount covers and I'm done!!
Concours Special division, here I come!!

The car I've been warned of being my main competition has relied on bought components and prefab pieces so I'm going for the do it yourself route!! It took much longer to hand paint the letters than to install some colored hoses!! Lol.
